Unfortunately I had a new in the box never opened iPhone Pro. Battery discharged and no longer could be charged.
The replacement battery was $10 on amazon.
It wasn't that easy, and I would not want my phone going through this, but hey, $10 vs whatever a new one costs (they are always free with a new line, but changing mobile #'s is a real hassle).
To me, the waterproof seal will never be the same. It's not easy to remove the old, and install the new.
there are too many delicate things that have to be undone to get to the battery, it is clearly not designed to be replaced. If it were? It'd be like 25 years ago. A door pops open, a battery pops out.
At any rate, yes it's worth it for cost avoidance. And for those who like to tinker, it's rewarding to do things for the first time.
